Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 111: Follow-up Arrangements

Long ago, on a certain day in the Cold Winter Forest, within the Demon Palace,

A disheveled black-haired little boy, sobbing uncontrollably, stood in the hall with a face full of sadness and despair.

In the quiet hall, the only sound was the boy’s crying, with complete silence otherwise.

Countless abyssal demons outside the hall had also fallen silent at this moment.

As the boy continued to sob, a gentle and comforting voice, like a delicate spring, softly entered the boy’s heart,

"What’s wrong, little one? Why are you crying so sadly?"

" sister Yu- Yumo?"

Upon hearing the girl’s voice in his heart, the little boy, still crying, raised his head, looking at the fluttering blood-red butterflies in the sky above.

Apparently, upon hearing the name "Sister Yumo," the blood butterflies suddenly trembled, but Yumo had no energy to care about it now. What she prioritized was to comfort the little boy in front of her.

"Can you tell Sister why you’re crying, Xiao?"

"Sister Yumo, father, father doesn’t want me anymore, *sob*! He left me behind and walked away, *sob*!"

"That’s not true. Your father left you here to practice diligently, just like the previous heads of the Black Rose family."

"No, he must not want me. I’m so worthless, I will never become the head of the family, "

"Why do you say that?"

"I-I’m already ten years old, but, but I only have second-tier strength, and I’m so weak I can’t even hold a sword."

"Second-tier, huh?, compared to previous generations, it is indeed a bit… uh, no, no, no, don’t mind what I just said. Um, but why do you insist on holding a sword?"

Yumo asked in confusion,

To this, the little boy replied matter-of-factly,

"Because, because all the previous heads of the Black Rose family were knights, they were all swordmaster experts! If, if I want to become the head of the family, I must…"

"Sigh, you don’t need to be so obsessed with being a swordmaster. You are definitely not worthless. Your talent doesn’t lie in swordsmanship. Besides, the Black Rose family has never said that you must practice swordsmanship."

"But, but father and the others…"

"That brat… never mind, in any case, don’t worry about this. I’ll train you to become a qualified family head~, one that will make your father very satisfied."

Yumo said confidently,

Upon hearing these words, the little boy gradually stopped crying,

"Really?"

"Really, more real than pearls~"

Yumo continued to coax.

Seeing the little boy no longer crying, Yumo felt a great burden lifted from her heart.

Then,

With a surge of crimson shadow power, waves of red light gradually converged, forming an energy arm.

Under Yumo’s control, the energy arm reached out to the little boy,

"But before becoming a qualified family head, we must fill our stomachs first, right?"

At these words, the little boy covered his stomach and blushed,

Lowering his head, he responded somewhat shyly:

"Mm."

Saying this, the little boy was led by Yumo’s energy arm, walking slowly towards the depths of the Demon Palace.

"By the way, wait a second. The dishes on the left side were made by me, so you can eat them. As for those on the right side, they were made by my daughter, Li Yu. If you don’t want to die on the spot, I suggest you don’t try them~"

"Huh?"

...

...

--

Recalling the first time they met over a hundred years ago, Xiao’s timid and shrinking appearance, his fearful voice, and now hearing Xiao’s confident and reliable tone, Yu Mo couldn’t help but feel emotional about how fast the children have grown.

Come to think of it?

Hasn’t it been a long time since they last saw each other? Is Xiao an old man now?

Oh, no.

Now he has already broken through to the rank of Magic God. After reaching the eighth rank, he will become young again, and his lifespan will greatly increase.

No wonder his voice sounds so young...

Yu Mo, who was communicating via a magic stone while sitting on the sofa, made an ’I see’ expression and cutely nodded her head.

While Yumo was reminiscing about the past,

Xiao’s curious voice came from the communication magic stone,

"master Yumo, you just mentioned the current plan, what is it?"

Hearing that, Yumo restrained her emotional feelings and put on a serious expression,

"Oh, that. Well, according to your previous report, the infighting among the human forces on the Ancita continent is severe, right? Even within the Asumos Church, because of the existence of the three archbishops, they are divided into three factions, each fighting against each other."

"Yes, that’s right."

"Didn’t we say that before? They can’t possibly deal with the invasion of the abyssal demons in this state. So, I plan to mix in with the Chosen One, help her unite the Asumos Church internally, and then go find the prince and have Meng Xi join forces with him to integrate the entire Ancita continent’s forces into a single power. Only then can they have the possibility of invading the Winter Forest!"

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing Yu Mo’s words, Xiao’s tone changed slightly,

After a moment of eerie silence,

Xiao’s voice slowly came from the communication magic stone,

"master Yu Mo, may I ask you a question?"

"Hmm? What’s the matter? Why so serious all of a sudden?"

"master Yu Mo, is your reason for wanting to integrate these forces still hoping that they could invade the Winter Forest and kill you?"

"Uh…, well,"

Hearing that, Yu Mo was slightly stunned, and after a helpless sigh, she nodded,

"Yeah,"

"So... can I ask why?"

Upon hearing this question again and feeling the concern in Xiao’s tone, Yu Mo’s crimson eyes revealed a hint of struggle,

She really wanted to tell Xiao and the others about the trial mission so they wouldn’t have to worry so much. After all, her death in her own words is not the same as the death they understand.

However,

Even if she wanted to say it, she couldn’t,

That power was constantly restricting her, forcing her to carry out the mission while also preventing her from revealing some truths to others...

Sigh...

Every time she thought about it, Yu Mo felt helpless.

After another sigh, Yu Mo apologized,

"Sorry... for now, I can’t tell you."

"Is that so?"

Xiao’s voice sounded somewhat disappointed, but he seemed to have anticipated Yu Mo’s answer and quickly adjusted his emotions, concealing his sense of loss.

"I understand, master Yu Mo."

"..."

"So, master, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Actually, I’ve been observing the relationship between the Sadik Empire and the Snow Night and Red Lotus Leaf Empires has always been tense. And now, the influence of the Black Rose Family within the Sadik Empire has grown considerably, so..."

"Master, do you want the Black Rose Family to help improve the relationship between the Sadik Empire and the other two empires?"

"Yes, more or less, that’s the idea."

"Alright, master Yumo, I understand. Although I can’t guarantee improvement, I will do my best."

"Okay, thank you."

"No problem, this is what I should do. you don’t need to feel burdened. After all, the existence of our Black Rose Family is to serve you."

Hearing these words, Yu Mo couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t expected that the people she had inadvertently saved 500 years ago would end up helping her so much...

Hmm?

Speaking of which,

As if she had thought of something, Yu Mo continued:

"By the way, Xiao."

"Yes? Is there anything else you’d like to ask, master Yu Mo?"

"Do you know of any suitable weapons for the Chosen One on the continent? Swords or the like."

"Weapons? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Well, mainly, I want to find a suitable weapon for the heroine."

As she said this, Yu Mo’s expression became somewhat strange,

Emm,

The reason she suddenly mentioned this was that she was not satisfied with Meng Xi’s weapon...

Before, in the small hosue, she had just wanted to borrow Meng Xi’s sword to shave her teeth,

Unexpectedly, the sword had shattered...

After all, Meng Xi was the Chosen One! She really didn’t understand why the Asumos Church didn’t provide her with a decent sword.

Never mind,

If the Asumos Church couldn’t provide the heroine with a good weapon, she would do it herself～

That’s why Yu Mo asked Xiao about weapons.

Fortunately, Xiao was as reliable as ever,

Upon hearing Yu Mo’s question, a suitable option popped into his mind,

"Speaking of which, there is a sword that seems quite suitable for the Chosen One."

"Which one?"

"The one from the Elf race, the transformed Holy Sword..."

"Oh, that does seem like a good choice. After all, it’s called the Holy Sword, it must be good. However, will the Elf race be willing to lend such a treasure?"

"Hehe,"

Upon hearing this, Xiao, who was thousands of miles away, revealed a slightly gloomy smile,

"Don’t worry, Master. The Elf race and our family have always had a very ’good’ relationship. I’ll visit them personally, there won’t be any problems～"
